We have meshtastic, which is a mesh network for radio communications. How can we create something like that for the internet? And, ideally, how do we then host the fediverse platforms on it?

    Bulletin Board System. Imagine if you had to connect to each Lemmy instance individually to read the collected posts. That’s sort of what BBSes were. A person’s computer hosting a forum of posts, that you’d connect through their phone number. The new use of that term with mesh is I think the same idea, individual connections and not a broad one like the internet is.
